Walk tips
Walking an Airedale Terrier
Airedales are big, busy terriers that like a brisk walk with plenty to sniff and investigate. A long daily walk plus some play or a game of fetch keeps them happy, and a secure leash helps with their urge to chase. For puppies, seniors or any health concerns, check with your vet about how much exercise is right.

How we estimate
Why dogs take more steps than you
You take about 2,060 steps in a mile. Dogs walk on four legs with a shorter stride, so they take more, and smaller dogs take more still. Doggy Doo multiplies the steps you'd take over the same distance by a factor for your dog's size, then adjusts for age: puppies bound along with extra steps, and seniors slow down a little.
These are estimates, not a pedometer reading. They’re built to be consistent, so you can compare one week of walks with the next.
